In this message from our FULFILLED journey through Luke, Pastor Clayton teaches Luke 4:38–39, where Jesus heals Simon Peter's mother-in-law in a quiet, intimate moment after the synagogue.We see the Kingdom Way on display—not spectacle, but compassion. Jesus stands over the vulnerable, rebukes sickness with authority, restores what was lost, and calls people back into purpose. This passage reveals a powerful pattern for every believer: Healing, Rising, and Serving.If you've been healed by Jesus but hesitant to fully rise and follow, this message calls you to step out of the sickbed and into the life God restored you for.

Part 3 of the Sermon on the Mount series, Pastor Dillon explores Matthew 5:17-20. "Though Jesus is not here to abolish the Law, He has come to accomplish it."

This weekend, we'll finish our study of Galatians chapter 3 before launching into chapter 4 next week. As Paul continues to plead for the hearts of the Galatians, he'll call them to turn from the childlessness of rule-keeping to the maturity of faith.

We read Luke 2:1-20, seeing the birth of Jesus as the fulfillment of God's work among the Jewish people, the story of David, and the human story as a whole. God the creator cares about our world, about time and space, and comes to dwell with us in this fragile context. We are especially helped by fathers who marvel concerning Luke's attention to detail, and God's great compassion.

Blaise Pascal famously said there’s an “infinite abyss” inside us that only an infinite God can fill. “You have made us for yourself, O Lord,” Augustine prayed, “and our heart is restless until it rests in you.” As David put it, like thirsty people in the desert, our whole being “longs” for God (Psalm 63:1). Surprisingly, however, it isn’t only humans that experience longing. God does too. While the infinite God of the universe needs nothing outside Himself to be fulfilled, the Bible says He “longs” to have us back when we stray (James 4:4-5), and repeatedly says He wants a people to call His own (Exodus 6:7; Hebrews 8:10). For thousands of years this longing has fueled God’s missionary endeavors: sending prophets to win back His straying people and ultimately sending His Son to find His lost sheep (Isaiah 30:18; Luke 19:10). The good news is that in the end, this longing will be fulfilled: “They will be his people, and God Himself will be with them and be their God” (Revelation 21:3). God and human beings will dwell together (v. 2). Humans long for God and no substitute will satisfy. God longs for humans and no substitute will do. So no wonder there’s rejoicing in heaven when one sinner repents (Luke 15:7). When we run to God’s open arms, everyone is fulfilled.

THIS WEEKEND, we'll look at Galatians 3:15–22 and trace Paul's argument back to its roots. He reminds the Galatians that God's promise to Abraham ultimately finds its fulfillment in Christ. The Law, which came later, serves a purpose, but it was never meant to replace the promise. Together, we'll explore how this strong reminder still speaks to our modern temptation to earn what's already been given by grace.

This weekend, we'll move deeper into the core of Paul's appeal to believers who are tempted to shift their dependence from simple faith in Jesus to their own ability to follow the rules. In Galatians 3:10-14, Paul uses the Law to prove that rule keeping was never intended to give us the life we're looking for.

Let's say we are going to build a house. Think of all the roles and activities there are to fulfill. Designing the home. Clearing the land and building a foundation. Building the home, which includes framing, plumbing, electricity, roofing, and more. Putting the finishing touches on it, such as trim. Then buying furniture and interior design. Landscaping. Each role and activity embodies a different set of interests and skills. Which role and activity would you find most fulfilling? Think of the workplace. Everyone is working to ultimately deliver a product or service. In the business there are many roles and activities. No matter where I'm working and what the product or service is, I absolutely know the role and activity that fits me.

Pastor Ben preaches on Luke 2:21-40

Promises can inspire hope—but they can also stir up skepticism when we’ve been let down by others. We’ve all experienced “promises” that didn’t mean much because the person making them wasn’t trustworthy. But this devotional reminds us of a life-giving truth: God’s promises are different. His Word is dependable, and His character guarantees what He says. Still, even with confidence in God’s faithfulness, there is one stage that can feel especially hard: waiting. There’s often excitement when God gives a promise and joy when it’s fulfilled—but the middle space, the waiting, is where hope is tested. It’s the place where we start asking questions, where we wonder if God sees us, and where discouragement can creep in. Waiting is difficult because it’s uncertain. We don’t know if the answer will come in days, months, or years. This devotional offers encouragement for those in that middle place—those who are still praying, still believing, but feeling worn down by time. Rather than pulling back, we’re invited to lean in. Pray more, not less. Worship more, not less. Hold tighter to God’s promises instead of loosening your grip. These actions won’t force God’s timing, but they will strengthen you and give you grace to endure while you wait. And even though we may not know when God will fulfill what He has promised, we can trust that He will. Waiting isn’t wasted. God uses it to shape our character, deepen our faith, and teach us what it means to rely on Him. So if you’re waiting today, don’t lose heart. God is faithful—and you will see His goodness in the land of the living. Main Takeaways A promise is only as trustworthy as the one who makes it—and God’s promises never fail. The hardest part of faith is often the “middle” between promise and fulfillment. Waiting can challenge hope, but it also strengthens trust and builds character. Instead of pulling back when hope feels thin, lean in through prayer and worship. God’s timing may not match ours, but He is always faithful to fulfill His Word. Today’s Bible Verse: Psalm 27:13–14 Your Daily Prayer Here is a brief excerpt from today’s prayer: “Help me not to lose heart and make my faith strong… give me more grace to lean into your promises.” You can read the full prayer and devotional at the links below.

It's the game of the year show people. Listen in to hear what Stu, Duke and Chinny rank as their number one.  

Hello to you listening in Shah Alam, Malaysia!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds (and a bit more) for Motivate Your Monday and your host, Diane Wyzga.The beginning of a New Year can feel daunting. All those plans to kick start, days to fill, resolutions to keep, and more to do! There's no shame in admitting feeling a wee bit wobbly-legged about going forward in the face of wide open frontiers.  What to do? Gain some courage by reversing your Bucket List. Instead of a list of what is yet to be done, what about a list of what you've accomplished from the littlest things that you felt made a difference to the biggest things you never thought you would achieve. You might begin by asking yourself:What made me proud?What have I learned?How did I transform my thinking about strangers to compassion and kindness?Who revealed the meaning of true love to me?Where did I find the hope and resilience to face whatever came my way?When did I feel most content or fulfilled?What would I do all over again just for the joy of it?What did I long for as a child?  What have I created or, at least, not destroyed?Who have I lifted up?How have I defined my life?  What dreams came true? And, which was I happy to leave by the wayside?  What or whom did I fight for and why?When did I take time to play?  In my experience the Reverse Bucket List invites us to pay attention to what we've done, won, gained, lost, learned and kept on living no matter what. It's proof that over and over again we have stepped outside our comfort zone to strive for something to do, someone to love, and something to hope for! Give it a go. Reverse your Bucket List and shine a light on you. You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!" Speaking of magic, I hope you'll subscribe, share a 5-star rating and nice review on your social media or podcast channel of choice, bring your friends and rellies, and join us!

From His earliest days, Jesus fulfilled the Law perfectly on our behalf and brought light not just to Israel, but to the world. Through ordinary people in this ordinary-looking moment we find extraordinary hope for our lives today.

This weekend, we'll step back into our study of Galatians by picking it up in chapter 3. There, we'll see the apostle Paul shift his letter to the wayward Galatian church into gear. Up to this point, he has been making the case that distorting the gospel destroys it. Now, like a courageous and loving friend, he confronts his readers with the fact that they're wrong. They've fallen for a dangerous false gospel that we're all prone to fall for if we're not careful.

Pastor Hal Mayer Posted on January 2, 2026

Our Lord Jesus went into the slave market of sin, bought us, and took us out and set us free.... Ah yes, when He said it's finished, God's law was satisfied, God's holiness was vindicated, and God's redemptive purpose was fulfilled.

What's holding you back from building a business you truly love? In this episode of That Will Nevr Work, Maurice Chism sits down with Dr. Christiane Schroeter, confidence coach and founder of DoctorChristiane.com, to explore what it really takes to turn fear into freedom and self-doubt into bold action. Dr. Christiane shares powerful stories and strategies for developing confidence, breaking free from limiting beliefs, and aligning your business with your purpose. This episode is a masterclass in courage, authenticity, and joy.

You did everything right. You worked hard. You hit the milestones. You checked the boxes society said would make you feel fulfilled. And yet, something still feels off.In this episode, Light Watkins breaks down why material success—money, status, experiences, even achievement—so often fails to deliver the fulfillment we expect it to. From a spiritual perspective, fulfillment isn't a reward you earn after success. It's a state that has to be trained from the inside out.Light explains why chasing more—more money, more recognition, more achievement—usually deepens the feeling of scarcity instead of resolving it. He draws a clear distinction between building external strength and cultivating inner strength, using a simple but powerful metaphor: you don't get strong legs by bench pressing, and you don't get fulfillment by making more money.This is not an anti-success conversation. It's a pro-fulfillment one. If you've ever wondered why “doing well” doesn't always feel good, this episode offers a practical reframing—and a clear path toward cultivating the kind of fulfillment that isn't dependent on outcomes, titles, or net worth.Send us a text message. We'd love to hear from you!

Luke 2:21-40 Mark Whitcomb December 28, 2025

In this homily, Fr. Edward Looney reflects on how what was promised through the prophets were fulfilled. But now, we can allow the scriptures to be fulfilled through us when we live them.

Have you ever wondered if the impossible could become possible? Just as technology transformed from science fiction to daily reality, the Christmas story reveals how God fulfilled hundreds of detailed prophecies through Jesus' birth - from His birthplace in Bethlehem to His virgin birth to His royal lineage. But this wasn't just about predictions coming true. Pastor Jeff shows how these fulfilled prophecies validate Jesus as God in flesh, who came to do what we never could - bridge the gap between us and God through His perfect life, sacrificial death, and triumphant resurrection. Want to discover how this ancient story changes everything about your life today? Listen to this hope-filled message that unpacks why nothing is impossible with God. Watch now! Speaker: Jeff Schwarzentraub

How will you make this new year different? Philippians 2 tells us that though Jesus was fully God, He was born a human to die on the cross so that we might have eternal life with Him. Now, the same God, the name above all names, partners and lives with us. How is God inviting you to embody Christ this new year? MESSAGE NOTES: https://www.bible.com/events/49542395RESOURCES: https://www.canyonridge.orgBLOG: https://canyonridge.org/blogs/

What does it mean to truly recognize Jesus?In this final message of our Advent series Come and Behold Him, we turn to the story of Simeon—a man whose entire life was shaped by waiting on a promise personally given by God. In Luke 2, Simeon is led by the Holy Spirit into the temple at just the right moment, where he takes the infant Jesus into his arms and declares, “My eyes have seen your salvation.”This message explores how:Only the Holy Spirit enables true recognition of ChristJesus is revealed as salvation for all people, Jew and Gentile alikeChrist both brings peace and exposes the human heart, dividing and revealing what we truly believeSimeon's encounter reminds us that the Christmas story is not just something to hear—it is something to behold. Christ comforts, confronts, reveals, and redeems. And when we truly see Him, everything changes.Scripture: Luke 2:22–35Waiting ends when salvation is revealed—when the Spirit opens our eyes to behold Christ.#ComeAndBeholdHim #AdventSeries #Simeon #Luke2 #SalvationHasCome #LightOfTheWorld #ChristmasSermon #JesusChrist #GospelTruth

In the fourth and final episode of Promised & Fulfilled, hosts Greg and Nathan turn to one of the most hope-filled promises in all of Scripture. In “A Light to the Nations: Isaiah's Vision of Redemption,” they explore Isaiah 9 and the breathtaking declaration that a great light would shine on people walking in darkness. Spoken into a time of judgment, fear, and uncertainty, Isaiah's prophecy points forward to a coming King—one whose reign would bring peace without end. Greg and Nathan unpack how this promise finds its fulfillment in the birth of Jesus Christ, announced to the shepherds as “a Savior… who is Christ the Lord” (Luke 2:11) and revealed as the true light who overcomes the darkness (John 1:4–5). This episode explores: The historical and spiritual darkness surrounding Isaiah's prophecy The meaning behind the messianic titles: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace How Jesus embodies the light, peace, and righteous rule foretold by Isaiah What it means to live today in the tension of the “already and not yet” of Christ's kingdom As the series concludes, this conversation invites listeners to rejoice that the light has already come—and to live with hope as we await the full and final fulfillment of His eternal reign. “The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light.” (Isaiah 9:2, ESV)

What does it actually mean to live a fulfilling life?Instead of trying to define fulfillment—which looks different for everyone—this episode uses a powerful mental model called inversion to clarify what not to do.Drawing from Charlie Munger's decision-making philosophy, Paul outlines four behaviors that virtually guarantee an unfulfilled life—and then flips them to reveal what fulfillment is really built on.

“In the beginning was the Word…” As our Advent journey reaches its climax, St. John pulls back the curtain to reveal the deepest mystery of Christmas: the Child of Bethlehem is the eternal Word through whom all things were made. In part 12, the final installment of our special series connecting Old Testament prophecy to New Testament fulfillment, we move from manger scenes to cosmic glory. The true Light that shines in the darkness has come into the world; He pitches His tent among us, full of grace and truth, that from His fullness we might receive grace upon grace.  The Rev. Jacob Hercamp, pastor of Christ Lutheran Church in Noblesville, IN, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study John 1:1–18.  To learn more about Christ Lutheran, visit clc-in.org. This Advent series begins by covering the last Old Testament prophet, Malachi, and then spends twelve episodes alternating between Old Testament prophecy and New Testament fulfillment, tracing God's promises from Isaiah to the birth of Christ. The series explores Emmanuel's promise, the Davidic King, John the Baptist as forerunner, and reaches its climax with the Nativity. The final episodes examine the Suffering Servant, the shadow of the cross in Christ's infancy, Isaiah's Messianic mission statement, and John's declaration that "the Word became flesh."  Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.

[26] And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Christ. [27] And he came in the Spirit into the temple, and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him according to the custom of the Law, [28] he took him up in his arms and blessed God and said, [29] “Lord, now you are letting your servant depart in peace, according to your word; [30] for my eyes have seen your salvation [31] that you have prepared in the presence of all peoples, [32] a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and for glory to your people Israel.” [33] And his father and his mother marveled at what was said about him. [34] And Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother, “Behold, this child is appointed for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign that is opposed [35] (and a sword will pierce through your own soul also), so that thoughts from many hearts may be revealed.” (ESV) ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ FINANCIALLY SUPPORT THE MORNING MINDSET: (not tax-deductible) -- Become a monthly partner: https://mm-gfk-partners.supercast.com/ -- Support a daily episode: https://MorningMindsetMedia.com/daily-sponsor/ -- Give one-time: https://give.cornerstone.cc/careygreen -- Venmo: @CareyNGreen ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ FOREIGN LANGUAGE VERSIONS OF THIS PODCAST: SPANISH version: https://MorningMindsetMedia.com/Spanish HINDI version: https://MorningMindsetMedia.com/Hindi CHINESE version: https://MorningMindsetMedia.com/Chinese  ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ CONTACT: Carey@careygreen.com  ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ THEME MUSIC: “King’s Trailer” – Creative Commons 0 | Provided by https://freepd.com/ ***All NON-ENGLISH versions of the Morning Mindset are translated using A.I.
